PROJECT 10073 RECORD CARD
Nov. 25, 1949; Mt. Palomar, California
Flying discs first observed near the observatory at Mt. Palomar. A
recording geiger counter was so activated at the times of these
sightings, that it went completely off scale. Written off as an
equipment malfunction, a loose fuse clip. Not only would this turn the
equipment off, instead of on, the Project Record Card mentions a
radar
tracking.

In regard to the 12 & 21 Oct 1949 cases at Mt. Palomar
Observatory in the NICAP chronology and Sparks' "BB Unknowns" list: The
25 Nov 1949 "case" in the Blue Book Archive contains some material on
this incident. It is not actually a case file, but a collection of
correspondence related to the potential
detection of
atomic powered UFOs by geiger counter equipment, which was put
together in 1952. There are several pages about the events and
witnesses at Mt. Palomar.
